Recipe Comments & Reviews

Has potential. It was too dry for my husband. I will try again. What's not too like with these ingredients.

This is delicious! I made it for a family camping trip this past weekend and everyone loved it! It traveled very well put it in a 9x13 pan. We served it as a side dish for dinner one night and it was such a hit, we had it for lunch the following day. This is a meal in itself.

Delicious! I added a layer of chopped lettuceabout 2-3 cups in between the vegetables to lighten it up a little, but other wise I made no changes. Everybody loved it.

Took this to a potluck - everyone loved it and commented on how healthy it was. Used fat free sour cream and fat free cornbread. Delicious

I made this salad for a summer party. Everyone loved it. It was very, very easy to make. I put it in a glass bowl for serving, and it looked so beautiful with all the colors. It was a big hit.

This is a great salad to take to a summer party or just serve at home with some grilled chicken for a quick evening meal. My children like all the different colors in the salad.

Actually I gave this recipe to my daughter to make for a family picnic. It's delicious and HUGE. Using a 13X9 pan like someone suggested would be easier to serve from. Yum!

easier to serve from a 9X13 dish rather than a deep bowl

This recipe makes a huge salad that easily serves 16, so use a large container or make 2 smaller ones. For a smaller group, cut the recipe in half. It delicious!

After a long, busy day of work and errands, the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook a meal. I usually end up throwing together a quick salad, but, during these cold winter days, a cold salad just won’t cut it. Enter Slow Cooker Rustic Beef Stew. This recipe let me do minimal prep, leave for the day and come home to a hot and satisfying meal with minimal clean up.
